    Well, it looks like the field is finally on Yelp. I had to review this ASAP! My family and I have…read morehad four season tickets, since the creation of the team in 2010. We sit in the "Home Plate Club" so I'll be speaking from that perspective, for the majority of this review. Food will be the first thing I tackle. We have servers that take our order, and then bring us the food, and they're always OUTSTANDING! They're mostly high school kids looking for a summer job before college, and despite that potentially "bad omen" they're kind, hardworking, and care about you and their job. As for the food itself, it's very good. They've got the standard ballpark fare, and they excel at it in my opinion. We also get the food pretty fast. Next up will be the stadium itself. It's very well taken care of, and it's nice to look at. It's nothing too insane, considering it's in a small town with a college league. But for what it is, it's better than some stadiums within a few hour radius...any sports, any you can think of...I'll leave it there, so as not to roast. I don't wanna blaze down that trail. While there is a lot of parking, and seating, if you come DAY OF and it's packed...you may have a hard time finding a parking spot, and getting a ticket. That's not a con, it's a pro. I love when it's packed, because it means they're successful! For non home plate club, seating is perfectly fine. I'm not sure what else I could talk about, aside from the team. I guess I could mention the location, it's easy access. There's also no lines while entering. I think the team is good. I think that's all I have to say. When you come, you get a feel for an entertaining time watching baseball. Great food, very outdoors, just a great summer hang for a group. Oh, reasonably priced food and tickets in my opinion. Kids and adults alike, will enjoy their time. Maybe even without being a fan of baseball, or sports in general. Sorry if this was lacking in information. Thanks for reading.

    David Story is used by the Cowlitz Black Bears of the West Coast League (a wooden bat college…read moreleague) as their home field. It's old, somewhat worse for wear but very typical for a small town field. The stadium is part of Lower Columbia College campus. - There are several seating options including general admission and grandstand. Prices are dirt cheap as with all WCL games. GA is bleachers; grandstand comprises individual seats with backs and armrests. We sat in the grandstand which offers a good view of home plate action but the seats are fairly uncomfortable. - Food and drinks are available at the concession area on the third base side. Typical ball park food although they offer Impossible burgers for vegetarians. You can download and use the FanFood app to order stuff instead of waiting in the looooong line. On the first base side, there's a small drink concession that strangely seemed unpopular with fans. - Beer, my go-to beverage, is either domestic cans or possibly one or more craft beer taps. During the game we attended, the tap situation was reduced to just one type of beer, a rather inexcusable thing for a PNW stadium. They have wine and other stuff too, of course. - No water fountains or coolers set out (as they have in some other stadiums). So if you want water, plastic bottles are it. Not a fan of that. - Lots of stadium announcements and they're LOUD. Maybe we were just too close to the speaker. - Great parking right near the stadium entrances. - Restrooms are located on the third base side but there's also some on the first base area outside the stadium. They're in the next building over. That wasn't at all clear to us rookie Story Field visitors and probably could be signed better (or signed at all). - Stadium announcer introduced our team (the Bend Elks) as the Bend Eagles. Hard to forgive that error. All in all, a nice stadium for small town baseball.
